Yes, there is no conflict between them. Students can apply directly as long as they meet the application conditions. Grants and student loans are essentially different. Grants are assessed by the school, and students do not need to return them when they are awarded bonuses to students from excellent families and poor families. Student loans are loans that must be repaid after graduation.

What is a student loan?

Student-origin loan is a kind of loan provided by the government, which is used to support students from poor families to go to school, improve the financial aid policy system of colleges and universities, and increase the financial aid for students from poor families in colleges and universities. This is one of the major measures taken by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council under the conditions of socialist market economy.
